Ishant, who missed the recently concluded World Cup due to injury, returned to competitive cricket on Saturday. But his comeback game was a forgettable one.

The tall fast bowler was plundered for 46 runs in 3 overs without a wicket. He also bowled 4 no-balls. Brendon McCullum was severe on him, ransacking 30 off the 12 deliveries he faced from the right-armer. McCullum smashed 100 not out off 56 balls as CSK posted 209/4.

Ishant has not always been the favourite among some of the fans. And again, they targeted him, on the social media. "Ishant Sharma" was trending on Twitter on Saturday evening.

Here are some of the tweets mocking Ishant
